Daytrip to Las Palmas

In Summer of 2021 Corendon Airlines Europe offered very cheap tickets for the winter season from Hannover to Las Palmas and on Saturdays you could even do a Daytrip with 12 hours on the ground in Las Palmas for just 100,- Euro and to be honest I couldn't resist.

28.11.2021

The day started very early at 2.00lt were I headed to the airport. Departure was at 4.20lt but due to fact that the airport was short on staff for security check you had to calculate a long waiting time. In fact that night I went through security within 10 minutes and spent the rest of the time at the gate.

I guess the loadfactor was less than 50% and  I had a row for myself.  You could buy on bord some coffee, Tea, water, Coke etc. Price for a coffee was 3,50 Euro, ok from my point of view

After arrival I went straight to the rental car and grab my Ford Focus in order to get to the final approach position at runway 03 were I spent several hours until noon.

Around noon I did a break in LPA and went to the small nearby airfield El Berriel

El Berriel (GCLB)

There is a DC-7 gate guard in full Binter cs but as I arrived they were just repainting that aircraft.

In the early afternoon I went back to LPA but first I found another monument with a Casa 212 nearby the airport

As the sun sets I went back to the terminal for check-in, went through security and waited for my flight back home

I used the flight to sleep several hours and woke up as we were descending to HAJ and a very nice day trip comes to end.
